Over seven years after Armageddon, Aquitaine is doing better than everybody else in Europe - it has become the economic and manufacturing powerhouse of the region. The General, Ted Dennison, is quietly confident - that is until somebody tries to kill him . From that moment onwards everything starts to go wrong. A terrorist bombing campaign begins with the inevitable deadly results. A new newspaper relentlessly attacks and ridicules him and his governing committee, an essential tax is subject to an adverse whispering campaign and, when he gets them, his successes against the terrorists are belittled.
As further problems develop Ted and his close advisers struggle for control not just of the war but of popular support as well.. A suggestion that the constitution should be abandoned and a temporary president appointed endangers the very foundation of the stable society Ted has created. When his friends start to suggest he should resign Ted fears the end is nigh - with all the menaces to him and his family that may imply. In desperation answers are sought as the final denouement approaches.
This is the final book of the Aquitaine Trilogy that brings together the peoples of the Earth in a final compelling voyage.
